It has nothing whatever to do with the pump. If you maintain tight
control, there is always a risk for a hypo episode. The risk is probably
much higher with a night time shot of NPH. Either that or really crummy bg's.
It is my observation that a pump reduces the likelyhood of this occurence
because makes control so much easier.
